Application filed February 29, 1924. Serial No. 695,921. f

rlhe objects of my invention are toprovide a closed receptacle orbottle, for use as a deskbottle for holding a liquid adhesive ofmucilaginous characteristics; which bottle whether of my new andimproved form, or of any old and well known form, is provided with acoinbined spreading device, usually and preferably of the well knownbristle-brush form, and bottle-mouth stopper; which stopperportion isformed of any suitable bibulous material which will absorb andretainwater, such for instance as, for example sea-Sponges,rubber-Sponge, felt, bibulous paper, etc., which when dipped in waterwill immediately take up and absorb a large portion thereof, and willhold and retain the same, for a long time, but keeping the air enclosedin the bottle cut off fromthe free outside air, practically in a stateof vaporous saturation; and thereby preventing the mucilage or other ad-Ahesive'within the bottle from thickening up, and drying out, either onthe walls of the bottle, oron the brush; whereby such mucilage is keptat all times in such a liquid state, as to be ready for instant use. r nMy said invention is fully shown described and claimed in the followingspecification, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, whereinsimilar' numerals of reference designate like or equivalent partswherever found thruout the several views, and in which Y'Figure'1, is afront view in elevation, taken in'central vertical section, of amucilage or adhesive holding bottle of my new: and improved'form havingone of my new and improved combined brush and bibulous-stopper, inposition therein, so as to cut off the outer. air from access to theinterior of such desk bottlc; Fig. 2, is a similar view of an old andwell known type of bottle long in. use, for the holding of mucilage andother adhesives, showing such bottle closed from the'outer air by one ofmy combined mucilage-brush and bibulous bottle stopper-s, of a somewhatmodified form of construction from the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, andFig. 3, is a similar view in central vertical section, of anothermodified form of bottle, and my improved bibulous stopper, and combinedbrush or dauber therefor.

Referring to the drawing In the particular form in which I prefer' toembody my said invention, shown in Fig. 1, the bottle itself is of mynew and improved stopper 10.

form shown, blown or pressed to shape in a suitable mold from glass in afluid and molten state; and such bottle is preferably provided at thecenter of its bottom l, with an upward ly and inwardly extending centralhump or boss 2, with which the bristle or brush cnd, of the combinedbrush and stopper of my new and improved form is normally in contact.

Such bottle may be of any suitable size, shape and contour, but isusually and preferably of the rounded shape shown in such Fig. V1, and.having its central brush orifice 4, encircled by an outer annularflange-receiving chamber or channel 5, the outer-wall of the mouth ofsuch bottle, being outward by the lgently curved portion of such wallindicated at 6, in order-to make such' mouth larger to receive abibulous stopper' holding more water. But suchpmouth however usually andpreferably ends in the straight upwardly extending wall-portion 7,usually and preferably provided on top of its annular top-edge with aground or sandblasted, or otherwise roughened end surface.

f so as to make practicallyan air-tight seal bc-l tween such roughenedsurface, and the inner abutting surface ofthe top-cap disk 8. And suchvtop-cap 8, is usually and preferably, ut not necessarily in all casesmade of suitable wood turned to form as shown `and colored or painted bydipping and drying, in the well known manner', and the same `is usuallyand preferably provided at its outer peripheral edge with the downwardlyde- Jendinor annular flange 9 which in combination with the ground endsurface of the outer` wall of .such bottle, air-tight seal between them,to conserve the moisture in the bibulous and water retaining Suchtop-cap 8, has secured thereto the central. upwardly extending handle11, having at its bottom central small cylindrical brush carrying` andsecuring-lug portion l2`r by which it is firmly cemented to the top-cap8; which lug portion 12, also carries at its extreme lower end themetallic brush-sleeve 13, carrying'the bunch of bristles 3, whichlcompose the brush by which the mucilage is spread upon the sheets ofpaper, etc., to be adhesively secured together.

In the modified form of construction of bottle and stopper shown in Fig.3, the same differsI from that shown in Figs. 1l and 2, in that the mainwall of the bottle instead preferably belled will form a practically'kof beingl curved or belled outward as in Fig. 1, is shown as straight,altho it may be made et belled Yor any desired other shape, but in anyevent, such outer annular wall provided at its upper and mouth-end ofthe bottle-wall, with an annular outer circumferential flange-receivingchamber 5 (similar to the like chamber of Fig. 1,) in Which lies theannular ring or Washer 16. which in F ip'. 3 is formed in a singlepiece, of the same water retaining absorbent bibulous material as is thestopper 10', which in such Fig. 3, is however entirely separated Jfromthe Washv er, flange, or ring- 16', instead of being ll'ormed integralwith the main and upper portion ot the stopper 1t), as it is shown inFig. 1, at 16. And in `such Fig. 3, both the inner and the outerupwardly extending Walls of the annular Washer receiving-chamber 5', areot the same length, and are each preferably roughened at the eXtremeouter ends thereof, as is only the longer upper outer Wall ot thebottle-mouth, in Fig. 1, as and for the same reasons. so as to in Fig`3, provide a tight-seal between such top-ends ot such annul ar chamberand the inner absorbent and bibnlous Water retaining stopper 10', otthis particular construction, which is as shown, usually but a thinannular sheet et such absorbent bibulous Water retaining` material. Andin this rconstruction shown in Fig'. 3, it will be seen that that suchWasher 16', is normally retained. in its annular chamber, and is neverremoved therefrom, altho it may be when it is desired to saturate itVanew with water; but this may be done by merely pouring' water slowlyupon it, while it still remains in its annular chamber; and thus at alltimes such washer or ring 1G', acts as a Water reservoir which alwayskeeps the air in the bottle so moist as to prevent the mucilage or otheradhesive from drying out.

ln Fig. I have shown a` nmcila'ge bottle ot an ancient and Well knownform et construction, with an air-lock reservoir.v by the use oit whichmost ot. the mucilae'e'is normally in the bell, and only a smallsur-tace oit the mucilage is in contact Withthe atmosphere; and in suchFig. 2,1 have shown such well known form of air-lock bottle providedportion ot' which is with a mouth-stopper 102, of suitable shape toclose and seal the mouth thereof, which stopper and combined brush ordauber, has its mouth-stopper portion 1()Z 'formed of any ot theenumerated bibulous water retaining and absorbing materials hereinbeforereferv red to. v

Gt' Whatever material my improved bibu lons water retaining stopper maybe composed, the same is so shaped by moulding, trimming, or in anyother suitable \vay,`into any o'l' the several forms shown to fit lanysuitable bottle, and, to prevent entrance to the mucilage While thecombined brush and stopper ot' my improved form is in place in suchbottle-mouth of any dry air from out-- side; while keeping the airwithinr such bottle and in contact with the mucilage, ina very moiststate.

I do not intend to in any manner limit myself strictly, te the exactform et construction, ot the mucilage bottles shown, nor to the exactnumber, or arrangement of parts oi my improved brush and stopper formucilage bottles shown and described; as it is evident that suchconstructions may be Widely varied in many Ways, without in any mannerdeparting from the broad scope of my invention.
